Via Telefonica Press Room

Nov 9, 2018

Madrid, 8th of November 2018.- Telefónica today reached an agreement with Grupo Catalana Occidente for the sale of 100% of Antares, its insurance company in Spain, for a total amount of 161 million euros. Antares offers health, life, accident and life savings insurance to more than 200,000 insured individuals in Spain.

The transaction is expected to generate capital gains of around 90 million euros for Telefónica and a reduction in net financial debt of close to 30 million euros.

After the closing of this operation, Grupo Catalana Occidente will continue managing the insurance policies of the Telefonica Group exclusively for the next 10 years, and will integrate Antares employees into its workforce.

The closing of the operation is subject to the pertinent regulatory approvals.

The sale of Antares, a non-core business, is part of the Telefónica Group’s asset portfolio management policy, based on a strategy of rationalization, value creation and optimization of the return on capital employed.
